Skyler stood up quickly to catch up to him, “Mr. Dane, wait, no matter who you talk to, you’ll still be collaborating with Alyssa. I believe your time is valuable; wouldn’t it be better to finalize the contract now?”
Archer paused, turned back with a cold glance, and said, “I don’t repeat myself.”
With that, he walked away, leaving Skyler disheveled by the whirlwind he left behind.
“Oh, how can someone be so unreasonably domineering?” Skyler muttered, wiping away tears as she called Clara, “Boss, how’s it going on your end?”
Clara responded, “I’m at the police station for an investigation. What’s up?”
“Dane Corp’s CEO acts like he’s the emperor himself. He insists on talking to you directly.”
“It’s a contract worth several hundred thousand; his caution is understandable. Set another appointment for them. I’ll come over as soon as I’m done here.”

“You have to spend money to make money. I’ve heard that the Dane Corp’s CEO eats here every day at noon. If we can meet him and catch his eye, we might just move up in the world.”
Hearing this, Clara recalled Laura’s words about a prominent, wealthy, and handsome man in Aurevia.

encounters?

One of the girls approached Clara, “Hey, you aren’t here trying to meet Mr. Dane too, are you? I’m warning you, don’t compete with us!”
Clara replied, dismissively, “Boring!”
“Acting all high and mighty! Every girl here wants to meet Mr. Dane.”
Around them, many beautiful young women were clearly there with the hope of deliberately getting close to Archer.
Clara ignored them and called over a waiter, “Can I get a private room, please?”
“Of course, miss, right this way.”
Just then, someone shouted.
